FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1. Between 2003 and 2006, service users at Bermuda Road, Curlew Way and Edgehill Road, Moreton, were subject to excessive charging totalling £116,300.

7.2. Due to the delay in undertaking financial assessments there has been a potential loss of income to the Council of £456,400 (being £300,000 prior to April 2003 and £156,400 post March 2003).

7.3. Any reimbursement of excess charge will require formal Member approval. This will require Cabinet approval and, if the funding cannot be met within existing resources, it will also require Council approval. It is recommended that any costs of reimbursement or other action are funded from the Department of Adult Social Service's Revenue Budget.
